PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, OCT. 22.—Private letters from Aix-la- Chapelle speak 'in high terms of the noble and frank conduct of the Duke de llicnet.reo, Who appeared there a very difle . rent man. to what he did at Paris, and say that his conduct attracted in particular the warm admiration of the Emperor of Russts. I have never attempted to deny the talents of the Duke de RICUIELIRU. I am per suaded they are of a superior artier ; and in great circumstances he has always developed them ; and as to his moral character, there is not, per'-. haps, a Alinit , ter in Europe who stands higher. But if we willingly accord al! this to the Duke of RICHELIEU, we must, at the same time, observe, that he appears unequal to the necessary details of office; he has not the spirit of analysis, of that critical acumen which enters into all the minutiae of what, as a total, forms the duty of a Prime Minister ; these cares devolve upon the under Secretaries, but when the master is obliged to confide to those under him, the service is seldom well performed. The Duke's capacious mind embrares a subject as a whole in all its grand bearings, and few know better the grand springs of action in the body politic of the European Powers ; but,speaking in the interest of England, what in the Duke is a virtue in our eyes, is a fault, considering him as the Prime Minister of France. The Duke ot RICHELIEU was, if not educated in Russia, at least protected by Russia for a lung petird, and honoured by that Power with the Government ot the Province of Odessa. Can he t be otherwise than grateful to Russia ? and ci;r: that gratitude be any other than a virtue ? No : if this natural gratitude lead him to Russia in preference to England, we mil b e a llowed to regret that the virtues of the Prime Minister of France render him hostile to English interests, for those of England and Russia are fast ceasing to be the same. In less than three years, .we venture to predict, that the Courts of London and St. Petersburgli will be at variance. France cannot remain neutral, and into what scale will she throw the preponderating weight ? This is a question which, in the present system of French Politics, migi , t easily be resolved ; what they may be three years hence, it would puzzle any thing beneath D:eini•v to tell. IVIIDDL6: , EX SESSIONS. --- _. . MR. DOWLING AND MR. HUNT. The Indictment preferred against Mr. Horn. by Mr Dowt.ING, for au assault committed in the office of Mr. Clement, in St. Clement's Church yard, was tried this morning. Previous to the case being called on, 9 curious fracas took place between Mr. Jessop the bar rister and Mr. Hunt. Mr. Jessop, on entering the Court without his rohes, took his seat at the table immeeiately opposite to Mr. Hum, without being aware of his proximity, and taking up the List of Traverses, aLd seeing Mr. Hunt's name at the top, he exciainied to a barrister by his side What, is this demagogue at the head of the list V On bring answered in the affirmative, he added," I wish he were transported fur fourteen years."—Mr. Hunt hearing the observation, re torted, " Fite may be your fate before long."— Mr. Jessup now said, " what had fallen from him was not for Mr. Hunt's ear, nor did he know he was within hearing ; he had, however, no he sitation in admit ing that he spoke as he thought." Mr. friutvr appealed to the Court for protec tion, and Mr. CONST, the Chairman, observed, that it was to be regretted the observation had occurred, but was sure it was not meant for him to hear, anti arose from a joke between friend and friend. That Mr. Hunt did hear it was to he at- tributahle to the courtesy-with which the Court were disposed to treat him, by letting him sit at the table usually devoted to the accommodation of the Bar. Mr. ALLRY then addressed the Court and Jury on the part of Mr. Dowling, and stated the circumstances of the assault, which are already before the public, without any aggravating com ment, stating it to b 2 his wish to abstain from every circumstance not immediately connected with the assault. Mr. DOWLING was then examined, and repeated the evidence given by him at Bow-street. In cross-examination by Mr. Hunt, he admitted that he had horsewhipped Mr. Hunt on the Hast ings at Covent-garden, and had done so for the express purpose of provoking Mr. flout to fight a (incl. There were other witnesses, but they were riot called. _ _ Mr. HUNT defended himself with great inge- nuity, A nd pot it to the Jury whether they could find him guilty of giving Mr. Dowling a very slight blow, when Mr. Dowling admitted that be had horsewhipped him for the express purpose of provoking a breach of the peace. He thought that w h en the one act was set against the other, Mr. Dowling would be considered in the eyes of the law most ci iminal. Mr. CoNsT, the Chairman, summed up the evidence, observing, that .Mr. Dowling's admis sion, on his cross-examination, might operate with the Court in passing Jndginent, but could not ►lter the tact of the assault having been committed by Mr. Hunt. - The Jury found Mr. Hunt Guilty ; and the Court, after suitable observations, sentenced him to pay a flue to the King of Fire Pounds.., L ai ly Harwood's house was broke open on Sa turday night last, and robbed of several dozen of silver spoons ; fortunately, the pl un d e r e rs were unable to ascend to the tipper Fart of the house iii consequence of the .doors bewg well secured. POETRY. DREAMS. Sweet is the dream, divinely sweet, "• When absent sauls in fancy meet!" I dreamt that at E'en a white mist arose Where the hedge-row bi ambles 'twist— I thought.that my love was a sweet wild-rose, And I the silv'ry mist And sweetly 1 headed her pale-red charms With many a diamond speck, And softly I bent up my wat'ry arms, And hung round her beautiful neck. 0 me ! what a heavenly birth I revell'd all night 'Till the morn came bright, Then sank at her feet down again in the earth. I dreamt that my Love was a sweet wild-pea All cover'il with purple bloom, And I, methought, was an amorous Bee That lov'd the rich perfume. Large draughts of nectar I sat to sip On a bean leaf just below— I brcath'd her breath, and 1 kist her lip, And my Love was as chaste as suow ! 0 me! what a beautiful task! For there I lay 'Till eve grew grey, While she in the sun's bright gleam did bask. Again—l was where the pale moon did line The forest with silver ; And I thought my Love was a wild woodbine, And I—a zephyr light : " Welcome," said I, " where the bramble weaves " Around us a guard of thorns And sweetly I tangled myself in her leaves, And blew her red-streak'd horns. Sweet music ! by that we led • A gay dance about 'Till old Night came out To rock us to sleep in his darkling hed. BEPPO. THE THEATRE. The Tragedy of The Distressed Mother was re presented again on Saturday last at Drury-Lane Theatre, and the part of Andromache was assigned to Mrs. GLOVER, who, though a truly excellent comic Actress, is not equally successful in the tragic province. But as good sense and feeling invariably malt her acting, the part appeared to much greater advantage than the previous Occa sion. Not that Mrs. MACKENZIE did not render it justice in point of judgment and sensibility, but that her person altogether was not calculated to supply so. brantiful and dignified a form as the Poet had designed. Mrs. WEs - r, who is most deservedly rising tact into popular favour, again presented Hermione to the audience with critical truth, animated feeling, and impressive energy.— A Morning Paper hints that this Tragedvanay give way to Sir Giles a.erreach or Richard M. because Mrs. WEST certainty makes the most prominent figure in it. We hope no such partial bias may be found in the ACTING CONW.IiTTEII ; yet we have heard a story about Hamlet, which we trust is not true, but which requires explanation. Mr. KHAN vas again warmly applauded by his admirers in Orestes, and Mr. D. FISHER received well-merited approbation for his performance of Pyrrhui. The Atterpiece was The Review, but the want of JonmsTos R in the chief part waa so obvious, that we here drop the critical curtain. Tll E MARKLTS.

Three men got into askip, for the purpose of descending one of the shafts into the pit, by means ofawbimsey, which was un der.thecare of a man named IVard, who at the time_ they began to descend the shaft was at the geers of the whimsey, and knew they were in tbe skip. When they had got down about twelve yards 014 whimsey turned again, the skip amended at a very quick rate, was draWn "over the pulley at the top of the pit-frame, and broken to pieces, and two of the men, Molhorn and Steeley, fell to the bot tom, a depth of 120 yards, and were killed. Clew ley, upon ascending the mouth of the shaft, per ceived that Ward was not at the geers to guide the engine, and knowing the consevence to be in evitable destruction, saved himself by catching hold of some of the uprights of the pit-frame, to which he clung, until the waggon was slided over the mouth of the shaft. The Jnry gave a verdict of Manslaughter against Ward, who was cortmett i ted to Stafford Gaol. FOR THE SUN. Mr.EDITOR,—A Foreigner who sigrs tie name of FRANCIS MACIRONE to a silly attack upon THE QUARTERLY REVIEW, Vices appeared in The British Monitor on the ig i h instant, and is repeat ed in The Morning Chronicle of this day, seems to have thrust himself forward without any necessil upon public notice. He is charged with having procured a passport from the Allied Powers for one purpOse, and to have employed it for ano ther. All his attempts to convict The Quarterly Review of falsehood, in having brought this charge against him, have failed, and he has even admitted the truth of this charge in his long and tedious letter. Now what is the fact ? The contemptible upstart JOACIIIM MURAT, the Usurper of the throne of Naples, after he bad lost that throne, and when he must have been an ;dent if he had thought that he could regain it, since the lawful Monarch bad returned, was more kindly than wisely offered an asylum in Austria. A passport was given to this said FRANCIS MACIRONE, tvho had been Aid-de-Comp to the Usurper, for the purpose of enabling that Usurper to pass into Austria, if he accepted the asylum so indiscteetly offered to one of the asiistant Butchers and Pion derers in the service of the execrable Us u rper of France, Mr. MACIRONE tells the public, that he used all possible means of persuasion to induce the wretched joactum to accept the offered asylum, but the silly fellow wanted once more to play the part of Mock Monarch, and positively refused it. What did Mr. Mactaona then do but furnish him with the - passport, which was given for no other purpose than to clear the way of Mr. MURAT to the Austrian dominion', not to enable. him to en deavour to disturb the Kingdom of Naples, and to attempt again to drive its lawful Mount eh from his throne! Now, Sir, let Mr. MACIRone answer this simple question,—Would the Allied Powers have granted this passport, if they could have conceived it possible that- it would have been perverted from its obvious intent ? Common sense says No ; and all Mr. MACIRONF'S reasoning on the subject is but " thin air."—Now a wort' or two on this Mr. MACIRONE. Why is he permit ted to find an asylum in this country, and to ob trude himself upon public attention ? By his con stant appellation of King to the despicable Usurper MURAT, it is plain that Mr. Mactaotla has no kind of respect for legitimate authority, and there fore having been the Aid-de-Camp to a.Revolu tionary Upstart, one of BUONAPARTE'S gang of Myrmidons and Murderers, he cannot be a fit person to find shelter among a loyal people. But I am glad that the man has thus come forward, because he may draw the attention of those to whom the superintendence of ALIEN, is inttosted; and surely upon clue refittctioo on his principles, it may be thought that sufficient attention has not been observed with regard to so officious an indivi dual. But perhaps he has laid out a few shillings in the Batik of Scotland, and thereby -tendered himself a subject of that realm which " Suclis in the dregs of each exhausted Sta,te." And looking at the mul►itude of dangerous F. reigners who are suffered to harbour in this Ale. tropolis, we may borrow a few more words from the same Poet, " LoNpor4, the needy villain's general home, " The common sewer of Paris and of Rowe " Let us then hear no more of such persons as have been the agents of Revolutionary Upstarts, but clear the country of them as soon as possible, that they may not spread a baneful contagion among a people who, notwithstanding the depravity of the times, chiefly owing to the fatal principles of Ja cobinical France, have drill a firm regard to loyalty and religion.
